Will They Really Get Away With It?

Authored by Chris Farrell via The Gatestone Institute,

Obama administration officials committed crimes against the constitution. They engaged in a seditious conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States.

Will they really get away with it?

Forty government officials were indicted or jailed as a result of Watergate. White House staffers H.R. Haldeman and John Erlichman went to jail. White House counsel John Dean went to jail. Attorney General John Mitchell went to jail. Howard Hunt, G. Gordon Liddy, Charles Colson and James McCord – all jailed. Nixon Press Secretary Ronald L. Ziegler called Watergate a “third-rate burglary.” It toppled a president.

“Obamagate,” or the “Russia Hoax” is a political and criminal scandal exponentially more serious and damaging to the constitution. Like the Richter Scale measurements of earthquakes, Obamagate can be measured in “orders of magnitude” greater seriousness than the third-rate burglary. Obamagate is the First American Coup. Not from the militaristic right, as fantasized by liberal Hollywood. Oh, no – from the “fundamental transformation” artists of the Bolshevik Left.

Writing in the New York Post on October 24, 2020, columnist Michael Goodwin listed his reasons for voting for Donald Trump, again. His reasoning included:

“The other side must not be rewarded for its efforts to sabotage and remove a duly-elected president.

“Russia, Russia, Russia was a scam that ruined lives and put a cloud over the White House for nearly three years. The sequel was partisan impeachment, a clumsy coup attempt orchestrated by Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Trump haters in Congress, the deep state, and the media.

“The press corps’ bias of 2016 has morphed into full-blown partisanship on a daily basis at print, digital and broadcast outlets. FacebookTwitter and other platforms openly use their power to censor pro-Trump news and opinion while promoting anything that makes the president look bad.

“It’s not the algorithms; it’s the people behind them.

“Their decision to block The Post’s groundbreaking reports on Hunter Biden’s business deals and Joe Biden’s involvement should scare anyone who treasures the First Amendment. To censors, Orwell’s nightmare is their dream.

“All fairness has been abandoned in a frenzy to destroy Trump and everything he represents. This culture war extends backward, too.”

This is all very important stuff. It is still defective in one key area: it ignores (largely) the crime. The details of the criminal seditious conspiracy to overthrow the government of the United States.

How are we still missing this?

The (awesome and formidable) law enforcement and intelligence powers of the United States were perversely twisted and abused to advance a partisan political agenda by the sitting president (Barack Obama); his paid political operatives; and officers, agents and employees of the United States Government against Candidate Trump, President-elect Trump and President Trump.

There are handy references to keep track of the cast of characters involved in the coup plot. The Epoch Times has a resource, as does the Capital Research Center. One hopes John Durham has a reference, file or graphic that is something close to those analytical pieces. He seems to need some sort of help, since he apparently is unable to move past the anemic, pathetic Clinesmith indictment.

Seasoned investigators and attorneys can take the publicly available records and assemble sufficient facts, documentation and evidence to meet the legal threshold (“probable cause”) for successfully presenting a bill of indictment to a grand jury.

Why is there reluctance today? How is it that Attorney General William Barr and John Durham are consumed with prosecutorial ennui when the crimes and cover-ups are so painfully obvious? One is left to conclude that it really all comes down to political will. Do Barr and/or Durham have the stomach to seek the indictment of people like James Comey, John Brennan, Andy McCabe and (many) others?

Granted, Lindsey Graham is certainly no Sam Ervin; and Richard Burr abdicated the running of the Senate Intelligence Committee to Mark Warner years ago – but AG Barr and Prosecutor Durham do not need committees of Congress for “cover” to pursue the criminality of the Obama administration and their operatives in the Department of Justice, FBI, CIA and State Department.

Just remember: 40 jailed for Watergate.

Let’s say Farrell is 100% correct. I suspect that the real problem for Barr is that Obama (and Biden) are inextricably connected to the crime(s). Indicting ex-Presidents and ex-Vice-Presidents opens the door to all kinds of political retribution. Once you go down that path, there is no turning back. From that point forward, every President, Vice-President or other political leader will have to hold sufficient power after his term to survive. Banana Republic stuff for sure. I don’t think Barr is willing to go there.

I doubt you could find a grand jury that would indict 0bama in the District of Corruption. If he did get indicted the chances of conviction would be less than zero. The best we could hope for is to name him as an unindicted coconspirator.

Or you could send his ass to Guantanamo and let a military court judge him. Obama himself, along with George W., made that very easy for a president.

The problem with the Watergate/Russiagate analogy is that the dynamic in DC, the nation, much f the world has changed so as to make comparisons impossible. The globalists had not yet completed their takeover, occupation (pick a proper term) of the entire government/media/academic/corporate/legal operating systems. THere were still two sides in 1972, in a way that there is NOT today.

Trump (A clown, but I voted for him 3 times, including this one) had ZERO real support. Some people did not actively kick him, but he had no real support. There was no group that had any incentive to defend Trump, or the President, or even the old operating system code (AKA English Common Law from Magna Carta thru the US Declaration of Independence and Constitution) which the political/economic system ran on. No support for that at all, not (especially) from nominal Republicans. Don’t kid yourelf, the difference between Lindsay Graham and Chuck Schumer is tiny. They serve the same master to get the same thing.

Vote all you like. Re elect Trump. We are still going to watch all our liberty and property be taken. We will help in both endeavors, and bitch all the while.

Ordo, Primary in 2016, general in 2016, general in 2020 (voted early, in person). Three times.

And I am pretty sure that it is going to get more chaotic regardless of who is declared (or declaimed, which may be more important to the composition of the hired rabble) winner, or when that declaration is made. Should be pretty entertaining for those of us who do not live in vibrant, diverse environs.

the cia was behind nixon’s ‘crimes’ hacket job. he closed the cia’s school at leadville and stopped them from the tibetian invasion. they deliberately bungled the watergate burgerly. they secretly taped the oval office, edited the tapes and hung the alteration on his secretary he fired 17oo cia agents.

Haha…yea. We got 4″ of rain over the past 3 days, and a good half came down and froze. I’ve been in/out doin the frozen limb loadin game….but “what’s in him” is more to my thoughts.

Seriously, I can’t seem to shake the idea that something of that nature will/is taking place, it did before:

“And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.” Gen 10:8

I would crawl down the hallway on my belly to peak into the living room and watch those old movies that were ‘past my bedtime’. Dad would still be up, writing up the orders from his days dales (which consisted of looking up a corresponding 9-10 digit # to the item ordered from a leather bound catalog that felt like it weighed a hundred lbs.). He always knew I was there, and if it was one of those old Greek demi god movies, he would tell me to “come on in here”……I remember him just saying “that was a long time ago, son”. In addition to the reassuring response when the monster lizard arrived …”I’d just grab im by the tail and snap his head off”..lol

Turned off beautiful here (windy) yesterday, I’ve got a truck loaded and a long ways to go.

“And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth.” 1 Ch. 1:10

Two times.

I imagine vast armies of overweight scooter people toting shotguns, charging against young punk ass antifa in skinny jeans, throwing home made molitov cocktails that travel 8 feet and only burn blacktop. As the groups get closer to each other, they can smell patchouli oil, and krisky cream doughnuts, all mingling together in a frenzied attack.

After a long night of skirmishes, mangled antifa corpes are dragged behind scooters, meanwhile BLM has completely looted the local Targets, for some reason this store enrages BLM . they also realize they still need to keep walmarts open to get food the next day.

These riots of attrition continue until there are no more empty bottles to make molivs, and all the scooters are trashed, then everyone returns home to re-watch the same battles on there facebook accounts.

The cops refuse to do anything, as the rule of law has ended in the banana republic of Amorica.

What is interesting is the American public known as Sheeple are just as oblivious to the dangers of the Marxist revolution taking place as I write this. However politicians and media are just as oblivious as they too are targets of patriots when shit hits the fan. Both of these unassuming groups feel like they are protected by precedent in their own mediocre neutrality even if that neutrality is fake. They actually think reality is in a video game or a meme or fakebook post. They will all soon realize these marxists are dead serious.

They are both ignoring the hungry lion locked in the room with them.

The DOJ and FBI are staffed not by 99% good people with a few bad apples but almost the exact reverse. For decades these institutions as well as every federal & state bureaucracy has been hiring the products of an educational system that is run by communists. Teacher’s unions begin the assault on K-12 children over 100 years ago and our colleges, especially Ivy League colleges, complete it. Their mission to completely subvert our culture, traditions, institutions, history and Constitution has been successful.

Why do you think scum like Ayers went from throwing bombs to education?

The fact that 60M+ are going to vote for Biden should tell you all you need to know.

The old one about you can vote your way into socialism but you have to shoot your way out comes to mind.

If their focus on 2A seems misplaced, you’re not paying attention. Infected institutions include the BATF.

It brings to mind another great meme, If pols are willing to treat us like this when we’re armed to the teeth, imagine how we’ll be treated when we’re disarmed.
